    Mastering Resilience: Dr. Eva Selhub Explains Stress, Burnout, and the Power of Adaptive Coping
    Dec 17 2025
    Time | Segment | What You’ll Hear | |------|---------|------------------| | **00:00 – 02:00** | **Opening & Breathing Reset** | Guided inhale‑exhale exercise to ground listeners. | | **02:00 – 07:00** | **Defining Stress vs. Burnout** | Dr. Selhub explains stress as a physical signal, the role of homeostasis, allostasis, and why “not all stress is bad.” | | **07:00 – 13:00** | **Entropy, Neg‑entropy & the Brain’s Survival Blueprint** | The physics of entropy, how early‑life food scarcity programs our stress‑perception, and the link to chronic fear. | | **13:00 – 18:30** | **Managed vs. Unmanaged Stress & Allostatic Load** | When stress stays “on” → inflammation, illness, burnout; adaptive vs. maladaptive coping (eating, screen time, nature deprivation). | | **18:30 – 22:00** | **5‑Minute Resilience Reset (SHIELD)** | • **S** – Slow down • **H** – Honor how you feel • **I** – Inhale + Exhale • **E** – Explore what you truly need • **L** – Choose Co‑creator vs. Victim • **D** – Declare affirmations (“I am enough…”) | | **22:00 – 25:30** | **The Six Pillars of Resilience** 1. **Physical Vitality** (sleep, nutrition, movement, nature) 2. **Emotional Intelligence** (regulating emotions) 3. **Mindset** (victim → opportunity) 4. **Relationships** (supportive vs. draining) 5. **Spiritual Connection / Purpose** (meaning, passion) 6. **Leadership Responsibility** (creating ripples of coherence) | | **25:30 – 27:30** | **Resilience for Executives** | How the mind‑body science translates into self‑awareness, communication, vision‑setting, and building a “living organism” organization. | | **27:30 – 28:30** | **The Foundations of Mastering Resilience (Online Course)** | One‑time lifetime access, videos, workbooks, quizzes, ongoing updates. | | **28:30 – 29:30** | **Hopeful Discovery** | The fluid nature of human energy (vapor ↔ liquid ↔ solid) and how shifting our perception unlocks healing. | | **29:30 – End** | **Rapid‑Fire Fun & Closing** | Overrated wellness tip, mood‑boosting song, nutrient spotlight, myth busting, favorite resources. | --- ## 📌 Key Takeaways 1. **Stress Is a Signal, Not a Villain** – It tells us when balance (homeostasis) is off. The goal is *allostasis*: adaptive return to equilibrium. 2. **Unmanaged Stress = Allostatic Load → Burnout** – Chronic fear, maladaptive coping (screen‑time, comfort foods) keep the stress system “on.” 3. **Early Life Experiences Wire Our Stress Perception** Scarcity imprints a fear template that can persist even in abundance. 4. **SHIELD™ — A 5‑Minute Reset** – Simple, repeatable meditation that slows the nervous system, re‑frames mindset, and reinforces self‑compassion. 5. **Six Pillars Provide a Complete Resilience Blueprint** – From sleep to leadership, each pillar can be audited and strengthened. 6. **Resilience Is a Muscle** – Regular practice (the SHIELD routine, pillar check‑ins, nature exposure) builds neuro‑plasticity and physiological coherence. 7. **Leadership Is a Biological System** – Treat an organization like a living organism; leaders who are in personal coherence inspire systemic coherence. --- ## 🎓 Resources Mentioned | Resource | What It Is | How to Access | |----------|------------|---------------| | **Dr. Eva Selhub’s Website** | Hub for articles, meditations, books, program links | | | **YouTube “Shield” Meditation** | Free guided visualization for the SHIELD method | Search “Dr. Eva Selhub Shield Meditation” on YouTube | | **Foundations of Mastering Resilience (Online Course)** | Lifetime access to videos, workbooks, quizzes | Hosted on LearnWorlds – https://learnworlds.com (search “Foundations of Mastering Resilience”) | | **Books** | *Resilience for Dummies*, *Your Health Destiny*, plus four other titles | Available on Amazon or via Dr. Selhub’s site | | **Free Meditations & Blogs** | Daily practice tools, stress‑reduction techniques | YouTube channel & blog section of drselhub.com | | **Social Media** | Quick tips, live Q&A, community support | Follow @DrEvaSelhub on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook | --- ## 🛠️ Quick Action Items (You Can Do Right Now) 1. **Run the SHIELD 5‑minute reset** – Find a quiet spot, follow the S‑H‑I‑E‑L‑D steps, and notice how your breath shifts. 2. **Audit One Pillar** – Choose a pillar (e.g., physical vitality) and answer: - Am I getting 7‑9 hrs of sleep? - What’s my nutrition missing? - When will I move for 10 min today? 3. **Replace a Maladaptive Coping Habit** – Swap one 15‑minute screen binge for a 10‑minute walk or a grounding breath exercise. 4. **Write a Daily “I Am Enough” affirmation** – Say it aloud during the SHIELD visualization. 5. **Bookmark the Course Page** – If you’re an executive or a personal‑growth seeker, explore ...

  • Stop Chasing Love, Start Building Great Relationships to Unlock True Affection - Ted Santos

    Stop Chasing Love, Start Building Great Relationships to Unlock True Affection - Ted Santos
    Dec 3 2025
    Show Notes – “Why You Can’t Find Love (And How to Fix It)” **Podcast:** *The Relationship Reset* 🎧 Quick Overview In this eye‑opening episode, host **Mitzy welcomes back the blunt‑spoken relationship strategist **Ted**—author of the best‑selling *Here’s Why You Can’t Find Love*. Ted dives deep into the hidden economics of divorce, the biology that tricks us into thinking we’re “in love,” and the practical skill‑set you need to build **great relationships** before you can expect love to show up. --- ### ⏰ Chapter Markers | Time | Topic | |------|-------| | **0:00** | Intro & grounding breathing exercise | | **2:15** | Meet Ted – why he wrote the book | | **4:30** | The cost of divorce: $300 B lost productivity + $30 B taxpayer burden | | **7:45** | How “love” is actually a **by‑product** of a solid relationship | | **11:20** | “Skills & competencies” needed to be a relationship “CFO” | | **15:00** | The oxytocin vs. testosterone imbalance – why men & women bond differently | | **19:40** | The “radio station” metaphor – how our internal narrative drives outcomes | | **23:10** | Historical dig‑dig: 1700s England, 1920s flappers, 60s sexual revolution – why “choosing your own partner” backfired | | **28:45** | The myth of “love languages” – why they’re more chemistry than connection | | **33:20** | Listening & “affectionate listening” – practical tools for real‑time negotiation | | **38:00** | The “game” trap – why players have skills because they must, not because they’re better | | **42:30** | Parenting & matchmaking – can parents help raise “relationship‑ready” kids? | | **46:15** | Q&A – from “rules of engagement” to “how to shift from sex‑only to relationship” | | **53:00** | Closing thoughts – actionable steps + where to get the book | *(Times are approximate; the episode runs ~58 min.)* --- ### 📌 Key Takeaways 1. **Divorce isn’t just personal—it’s an economic crisis.** - $300 B in lost workplace productivity + $30 B in social‑service costs every year. 2. **Love is a symptom, not a strategy.** - Build the relationship first (communication, finance, health, child‑rearing compatibility). 3. **Treat relationships like a job.** - If you wouldn’t hire a CFO without finance credentials, don’t expect a partner to succeed without relationship “competencies.” 4. **Biology tricks us.** - Women’s oxytocin spikes quickly, men’s testosterone dampens it. Understanding this prevents mis‑aligned expectations. 5. **Your “radio station” (internal narrative) determines your reality.** - Re‑program the story you hear (e.g., “men always cheat” vs. “I can attract a respectful partner”). 6. **Listening > Talking.** - Active, affectionate listening = the fastest way to negotiate needs and avoid assumptions. 7. **“Game” is a survival skill, not a sign of worthiness.** - Women who chase “players” often overlook deeper compatibility and end up unsatisfied. 8. **Parents can shape a child’s relationship readiness.** - Introducing “compatibility literacy” early reduces the odds of future “dead‑end” pairings. --- ### 🗣️ Notable Quotes - **“Love has nothing to do with creating a great relationship. Love is a by‑product of a great relationship.”** – Ted - **“If you don’t have the skills to be a CFO, you don’t expect to be hired as one.”** – Ted (relationship analogy) - **“We all wake up to a radio station we didn’t choose; we can change the frequency.”** – Ted --- ### 👤 About the Guest **Ted** – Author of *Here’s Why You Can’t Find Love*. - International speaker on relationship psychology & workplace productivity. - Combines data‑driven research (divorce economics, neurobiology) with real‑world coaching. - Former business consultant turned full‑time relationship strategist. **Connect:** - **Website:** [Insert URL] - **Twitter:** @[InsertHandle] - **Book:** *Here’s Why You Can’t Find Love* – available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and all major retailers. --- ### 📚 Resources Mentioned | Resource | Why It Matters | |----------|----------------| | **Book:** *Here’s Why You Can’t Find Love* | Full dive into the research, stories, and action plan. | | **Research:** “Divorce costs $300 B in productivity loss” – (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2022) | Shows why corporate culture must address personal lives. | | **Article:** “Oxytocin vs. Testosterone: How Hormones Shape Bonding” – *Psychology Today* (2021) | Quick read on the neurochemical differences discussed. | | **Tool:** “Affectionate Listening Cheat Sheet” – PDF (link in episode description) | Practical prompts for better conversations. | | **Podcast Episode:** *The Economics of ...

    Nov 26 2025
    🎤 Guest Dr. Atif Khan is a software developer, stand-up comedian, and Michael Jackson tribute performer. He founded Life Immorta*, a platform that connects organ donors, both living and deceased, with recipients globally. --- ## 📖 Episode Overview The episode begins with a brief guided breathing exercise to center listeners, then discusses Atif's personal experiments with breathwork, red-light therapy, and earthing that improved his motor skills and mood. From there the conversation shifts to the heart of the show: **Life Immortal**, an app that aims to modernise organ donation by leveraging technology, AI, and a community‑first approach. Key themes explored: 1. Why Life Immortal – Atif’s philosophy of living on through the people we help, not through a mystical afterlife. 2. ow the app works – Profiles, location‑aware matching, secure chat/video calls, and cross‑posting to other social platforms. 3. **Barriers to organ donation** – Cultural stigma, bureaucratic red‑tape, outdated registries, and the need for legislative change (e.g., opt‑out systems). 4. **Future tech** – AI‑driven matching, bio‑engineered organs, pig‑to‑human transplants, and the broader “immortality” conversation (AI, stem cells, longevity research). 5. **Human side** – Stories of love, sacrifice, and compassion that keep donors motivated. 6. **Rapid‑Fire round** – Light‑hearted personal preferences (iOS vs Android, “Beat It” vs “Thriller”, etc.). The episode ends with a **call‑to‑action**: join the Life Immortal community, explore the app, and celebrate each breath. --- ## ⏱️ Timestamped Highlights | Time | Segment | What’s Covered | |------|---------|-----------------| | **00:00‑01:30** | Opening & Breathing Exercise | Guided inhale‑hold‑exhale to center listeners. | | **01:31‑03:10** | Listener Breathwork Story | Host shares personal experiment with intermittent hypoxia, earthing, red‑light therapy, and its impact on motor skills. | | **03:11‑04:45** | Intro to Atif Khan | Brief host intro – software dev, comedian, Michael Jackson tribute artist; founder of Life Immortal. | | **04:46‑07:20** | Meaning of “Life Immortal” | Atif explains the name, the idea of legacy, AI vs “God”, and living on through helping others. | | **07:21‑11:00** | How the App Works | Profile creation, donor/recipient matching, location‑based urgency, secure messaging, cross‑posting to Facebook/other platforms. | | **11:01‑13:50** | The Systemic Problem | Outdated registries, political inertia, need for opt‑out legislation (e.g., UK model), and the role of tech in fixing it. | | **13:51‑15:45** | The “Pivotal Moment” | Atif’s COVID‑era encounter with a non‑profit organ‑donation signup that sparked the app idea. | | **15:46‑18:30** | Building Trust & Compassion | Using bulletin boards, AI matching, and a “definitive window” for urgent cases; human stories (e.g., donor Lisa). | | **18:31‑20:10** | Living‑Donor Organs & Stem‑Cell Age | Kidney, liver, bone marrow, cartilage, skin, cornea, and emerging stem‑cell/bioprinting possibilities. | | **20:11‑22:00** | Collaboration with Xenotransplant Research | Pig organ research, bio‑hacked monkeys, need for capital, and potential partnerships. | | **22:01‑24:15** *Rapid‑Fire Segment* | Quick personal Q&A | App Store vs Google Play, code vs coffee, iOS vs Android, “Beat It”, stand‑up vs crowd‑work, etc. | | **24:16‑26:30** | Final Message & Call‑to‑Action | “Life is beautiful – enjoy simple joys, stay optimistic, join the community.” | | **26:31‑End** | How to Connect | Website, app store links, soft‑sell invitation. | *(Times are approximate; use as guide for editing.)* --- ## 🌟 Key Takeaways 1. **Technology can humanise organ donation.** - Life Immortal transforms a bureaucratic process into a community‑driven, transparent experience. 2. **Speed matters.** – Real‑time location data and instant messaging reduce the “golden hour” delays that often determine transplant success. 3. **AI as a match‑maker.** – Future versions could automatically pair donors with recipients based on medical compatibility, urgency, and geography. 4. **Legislation is a lever.** – Opt‑out donor systems (e.g., England) dramatically increase donor pools; advocacy is essential. 5. **Compassion fuels participation.** – Personal stories (donor Lisa’s love‑driven kidney donation) illustrate that emotional connection, not financial incentive, drives many donors. 6. **Immortality re‑defined.** – Atif’s vision: we become “immortal” by extending our impact through the lives we help save. --- ## 🔗 Useful Links | Resource | URL | |----------|-----| | **Life Immortal website** | https://www.life-immortal.com | | **iOS App (Apple App ...

    Re‑Engineering the Mind – From Burnout to Breakthrough -Chris Paprotny
    Nov 12 2025
    **Transforming Lives Panel – Episode #3 *Host : Sharmin Prince (Speaker 3) & Mitzy Dadoun (Speaker 2) Guest : Chris Paprotny – Mind‑Architect & Forensic Mind Reconstructor* --- ## 🎧 Episode Overview In this 30‑minute deep‑dive, Chris walks us through his journey from a physical breakdown to the creation of **Physical Finesse**, a holistic framework that blends neuroscience, somatic practice, and spiritual work to *make problems irrelevant* rather than simply “fix” them. We explore his signature concepts—disjointed learning theory, the 95 %/5 % subconscious‑conscious model, karmic ties, and “divine time”—and hear practical strategies for tackling imposter syndrome, self‑sabotage, and chronic patterns. --- ## ⏱️ Timestamped Highlights | Time | Topic | Key Takeaways | |------|-------|----------------| | **00:00 – 01:30** | **Opening & Breathwork** | Hosts guide listeners through a grounding breath practice to set the tone for presence. | | **02:00 – 04:00** | **Guest Intro** | Chris introduced as “Mind‑Architect & Forensic Mind Reconstructor.” Focus on transformation, not topics. | | **04:30 – 07:15** | **Physical Finesse Brand** | Origin of the domain name **physicalfinesse.com** – an acronym for eight holistic principles (Physical, Financial, Intellectual, Nutritional, Emotional, Spiritual, Social, Environmental). | | **07:30 – 10:45** | **Genesis of the Journey** | 2016 burnout → spinal collapse → chiropractic work → spiritual quest → the realization that the spine symbolized a failing personal structure. | | **11:00 – 14:00** | **Disjointed Learning Theory** | Pulls “disconnected” knowledge streams together, turning complex concepts into simple, reversible frameworks. | | **14:30 – 17:45** | **Fixing vs. Making Problems Irrelevant** | *Fix* = band‑aid; *Irrelevant* = stripping the band‑aid, exposing the underlying canvas, then re‑authoring choices (B‑birth → C‑choice → D‑death). | | **18:00 – 20:30** | **The 95 % / 5 % Model** | 95 % subconscious autopilot (e.g., driving) vs. 5 % conscious learning. The conscious mind *educates* the subconscious, re‑programming habitual patterns. | | **21:00 – 23:45** | **Early Childhood Programming** | Sub‑conscious “sponge” phase up to age 7; afterwards the conscious gatekeeper filters new information, creating resistance to change. | | **24:00 – 26:30** | **Working With Imposter Syndrome** | Uncover the story behind “not good enough,” locate dis‑confirming evidence, and shift language/identity rather than merely coping. | | **27:00 – 28:30** | **Karmic Ties & Past‑Life Work** | Example of a client’s 1840s karmic imbalance, how reenactments and hypnotherapy made the issue irrelevant. | | **28:45 – 30:00** | **Divine Time (Vañchā)** | Trusting the process as *the process*; letting faith replace control, aligning frequency, and moving toward effortless transformation. | | **30:00 – 32:00** | **Rapid‑Fire Q&A** | One‑word answers: *Transformation*, *Irrelevant*, *Trauma*, *Self*, *Belief*, *Painted*, etc. | | **32:00 – End** | **Contact & Resources** | Website (under construction) – www.physicalfinesse.com, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube (Physical Finesse). | --- ## 📚 Core Concepts & Definitions | Concept | Simple Definition | |---------|-------------------| | **Physical Finesse** | A holistic brand built on eight pillars (Physical, Financial, etc.) that integrates mind‑body‑spirit work. | | **Mind‑Architect** | A practitioner who designs new mental frameworks *from the inside out*. | | **Forensic Mind Reconstructor** | A method that “investigates” subconscious patterns and reconstructs them into usable, healthy structures. | | **Disjointed Learning Theory** | Turning scattered knowledge into a unified whole; making complex ideas simple and reversible. | | **Making Problems Irrelevant** | Removing the “band‑aid” to expose the underlying canvas, then re‑authoring life choices (B‑birth → C‑choice → D‑death). | | **95 % / 5 % Model** | 95 % subconscious autopilot; 5 % conscious learning that can re‑program the autopilot. | | **Karmic Tie** | An energetic imbalance from cause‑and‑effect that needs to be repaid or re‑balanced across lifetimes. | | **Divine Time (Vañchā)** | Trusting the process as *the process*—faith in the unfolding timeline without forcing outcomes. | | **Identity Stagnation Profit** | The “Trauma” identity that thrives on the client staying stuck. | --- ## 🎯 Key Takeaways for Listeners 1. **Shift From Fixing to Re‑authoring** – Instead of band‑aids, uncover and dissolve the root patterns, leaving a blank canvas for new choices. 2. **Conscious Re‑Education** – Small, intentional conscious actions (the 5 %) can re‑wire the massive subconscious background (the 95 %). 3. **Early Programming Matters** – The ...
